Bill > HR1044

This bill amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to require states with a voter registration requirement to provide same-day voter registration at polling places on any day voting is permitted for federal elections. The key provisions are: 1) It requires states to allow eligible individuals to register to vote or update their voter registration information on the day of a federal election or any early voting day, and then cast a ballot in that election. 2) The requirements do not apply to states that have no voter registration requirement for federal elections under state law. 3) The new same-day registration provisions must be implemented by the November 2018 general federal election and all subsequent federal elections. The bill aims to make it easier for eligible voters to participate in federal elections by allowing them to register and vote on the same day, rather than having to register in advance.
